1. Born Anna Maria Pierangeli in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, Angeli made her film debut with Vittorio de Sica in Domani è troppo tardi (1950).
2. For Paramount, she should have had the role of Anna Magnani's daughter in The Rose Tattoo, but because motherhood interfered, the role went to her twin sister, Marisa Pavan, who was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for the role.
3. For a short time, Angeli also had a romantic relationship with James Dean, however, under pressure from her domineering mother, she broke off the relationship and went on to marry singer and actor Vic Damone (1954–1958).
4. She returned to MGM for Somebody Up There Likes Me as Paul Newman's long-suffering wife (James Dean had originally been expected to play the starring role, which went to Newman after Dean's death).
5. At the age of 39, despondent and lonely, Angeli was found dead of an accidental barbiturate overdose.
